PAUL MAUSER, OF OBERNDORF-ON-THE-NECKAR, GERMANY, ASSIGNOR TO THE IVAFFENFABRIK MAUSER, OF SAME PLACE.

SHELL-EXTRACTOR FOR BOLT=GUNS.

This last-mentioned groove is that and a at its forward end and f represents the usually provided in the breech-ease to receive cartridge-extractor carried by the bolt.

At E E, the recesses in the breech-case A for the the front end the extractor f is provided with the extractor-claw f, and is shaped to lit the front, back, and outer surface of the locking projection a and yet pass freely over the latter, so that it will not interfere with the oscillatory movement of the bolt.

To sustain the extractor f against'the horizontal pull exerted by the extractor-claw f in extracting a shell, the front portion of the extractor in the rear of the claw f is provided on its inner side with a projecting cross-ribf fitting into a corresponding groove 0 in the bolt a in front of the locking projection a, which latter is sufficiently cut away in front to make room for the said rib f The groove is formed around a suitable portion of the circumference of the bolt to to allow the latter to be freely turned for locking and unlocking. Providing the extractor with the said rib f fitting the groove 0 of the bolt ct in front of the projection ct, considerably lessens the possibility of its being forced outward by the strain caused in extracting a shell, as this arrangement supports the extractor close up to its work. The extractorclaw f' is placed on the horizontal axis of the extractor f, (see Fig. 7,) or it may be a little lower, so that the cartridge on being pushed up through the gap in the projecting rim of the recess 7) in the forward end of the bolt a into position for charging the gun is infallibly seized and held firmly by the extractor-claw f. By the same means the shell or cartridge is also prevented from slipping again downward by itself.

I claim as my invention in cartridge-shell extractors for breech-loading bolt-guns the following defined novel features and combinations, substantially as hereinbefore speci fied, namely:

rounding it, of a ring engaging said annular groove in the bolt and a shell-extractor consisting of a flat metal body provided on its front end with a claw, having a cross-rib f engaging with said groove 0 of the bolt, constructed near its rear end with a tail-piece bearing against the bolt and having a hook on its inner side engaging with said ring, whereby the extractor is kept in connection with the bolt in such manner that the latter is free to be turned for closing and opening the breeclrindependently of the extractor, While the extractor, guided by a horizontal groove of the breech-case, is compelled to follow all the to-and-fro motions of the bolt.

2. The combination, with the breech case of a gun having the grooves F F, and a bolt having the recoil projections a a at its front end and formed at the rear of said projections with a peripheral groove 0, extending partially around it, of a shell-extractor consisting of flat steel body f, adapted to enter one of said grooves in the breech-case and provided on its front end with a clawf and cross-rib f fitting said groove 0 of the bolt and provided at its rear end with a tail-piece f bearing against the bolt, whereby the bolt and the extractor are connected to move together longitudinally, while the bolt is free to be turned for closing and opening the breech independently of the extractor, and the extractor is guided by said groove in the breechcase while following all the to-and-fro motions of the bolt, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
